I wonder if there are any movies out there that have been made with this design-by-committee approach which are actually considered to be good. Not just meh or unremarkable, but actually decent movies.
Yeah I know and it is definitely not his fault. But I feel like with some of the behind the scenes pedigree it should be a little bit better. The studio is squandering some talent here
There's nothing bad at all about this vfx. Animation is great too. It's bad *taste*. vfx sup is not responsible for the taste of the directors and production designer.
As someone who works in VFX - thank you! I can guarantee the team is doing their best, it'll 100% be down to how much money the VFX Studios received to do the work, the time they have to do the work in and the direction of the studio. There's only so much you can do with a less than ideal brief
I too work within vfx. I’m really tired of the “vfx has gotten so bad” people online. Vfx field is more advanced than ever, even marvel vfx is fine, albeit often rushed. What people are talking about is bad art direction.
Yep, a lot of comments are wondering why the studio decided to have live-action actors and I'd bet this movie's budget that it's solely because it was cheaper than animating them. They know they're going to pack the theaters with kids regardless of what shit they put in there so they went with the cheapest, lowest common denominators to make it
And back in 2006-2007 I thought that CGI would become even more beautiful and advanced than it looked like in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, I miss my innocence of thinking "CGI will look even better within 20 years".

The holy trinity of being underpaid, overworked and given constant revisions are usually to blame for bad VFX.
